## Title American Vinegar Works Sampler

## Subtitle Five barrel-aged American vinegars, two ounces each, plus a 500ml single-estate California olive oil. Worcester, Massachusetts, fermenting the early-1800s way.

## Description Industrial vinegar is made in days, in stainless tanks called acetators that pump air through alcohol while a temperature jacket holds the bath at 30 degrees. The result is fast, undifferentiated, and chemically distinct from what fermentation actually produces.

American Vinegar Works does the opposite. They start with American-grown wines, ciders, sakes, and beers — Palomino sherry from California, junmai sake, hard cider, IPA — and ferment them on the surface, slowly, the way vinegar was made before the industrial method. Then they barrel-age the result in 25-gallon American oak ex-rye-whiskey barrels from a single craft distillery in upstate New York. Each bottle is hand-bottled raw and unfiltered. The mother is still in the bottle.

The sampler is five 2-ounce bottles plus a 500ml California single-estate olive oil. A way to taste five barrel programs at once and notice that vinegar can have terroir.

Every purchase funds one sauna session for one cancer patient. A vinegar that takes years to make funds one twenty-minute warmth. The asymmetry is the point.
